Workbenches...
Here's mine, Taff. It's in the basement, a little damp and with a high window. The main point, IMHO, is that a workbench is a living project continuously adapting to the owner's needs and tastes, so no need to look for the ultimate solution, there isn't one.;) In its very early days 2 years ago...- Andy the Sheep

1/35 Sd.Ah 56/57 Flak ammunition trailer (3D printed)
Los, hoping to be of some use, here are some pics (for discussion use only) of the National Road 12 that leads to Brenner Pass as it was and a pic of a Nashorn in the alps (but I think it is referred to July - September 1943) At that time even the main National Roads (Strada Statale or S.S.)...- Andy the Sheep

Latest Acquisitions (2022)
Another gift by a friend from his brother's stash, a recently departed modeller. (see also here LINK ) It's a finely molded figure (in spite of some spelling problems ;)) with only one main mistake: the helmet should carry on the left side, the Italian mountain troops mark: the black...- Andy the Sheep

Help needed - What was it meant to be?
Gents, I need some help to understand what to do with a box, a 1:35 Tamiya M3 I received from a friend. The kit belonged to his brother, a really fine modellist, who suddenly passed away some months ago. His intent was to give me a kit belonging to his brother. Probably he didn't notice that...- Andy the Sheep

1985 UK car park (1/43 scale)
It was the hydraulic suspension system which made the difference. Even De Gaulle survived an armed attack thanks to Citroen peculiar hydraulic system. link Citroen DS (in French it is spelled DE ESS, which sounds just like déesse, goddess :smiling:), SM and CX are cars I always loved.

Andrea's Spitfire Mk IX c late Eduard Profipack 1:72
This is the result of my efforts. To the quality of the kit helped a lot, the quality of the modeller far less. 1:72 superdetailed kits are fascinating but require a lot of patience and, possibly, 2 or even 3 pairs of eyes. Fortunately they come rather cheap (19€ in LHS)... the kit, not the...- Andy the Sheep

Fighting 48th M4A4 conversion
Here are some more info about the gun. It seems it was a 76/52, according to the official blueprint while on the text si reported as 76/55. In the former case it's a 17 pounders, in the latter should be the US gun. Probably both were in use as both kind of Shermans were inherited from the Allied...- Andy the Sheep

Fighting 48th M4A4 conversion
Maybe these pics will help. Those are 2 Shermans that were part of the North-eastern border fortification and were scrapped at the beginning of the '90s. The gun had been upgraded and adapted to the tank new role but the hull and turret should still be those which were in service in the Italian...- Andy the Sheep

Bird Watching a Relaxing Hobby
A mallard, disturbed by a wandering tourist, taking off in the Dolomiti area. I'm still wondering how I managed to get it. It was just instinctive shooting as I was trying to stealthily approach its group for some more detailed pics . This is the group, now waterborne, I was trying to capture...- Andy the Sheep

What's on the bench 2022
Spit UF-Q is slowly approaching its final stages. Today main decals and a protective coat of clear gloss before adding the stencils (there's a full set of 1/72 stencils included in the kit!). The quality of the decals is really good: they easily follow the surface details, even rivets, with...- Andy the Sheep

Micro drills advice
I use this, from Tamiya: It looks like a toy :rolling:, it's cheap :money-face:and it's sold as a kit ;) but it works at low speed and hand pressure can be easily modulated, thing I find difficult to do with my pin vice. It's battery operated (2 x AA) and I use it every time I have to drill...- Andy the Sheep

What's on the bench 2022
The Spit is progressing. Black primer from rattle can, aluminum coat by Tamiya over a first light coat of Steel by Vallejo, then the engine cowl partially painted with Tamiya Dark green. Dark grey will follow next time along with some retouching due to bad masking. The level of details of that...- Andy the Sheep

What's on the bench 2022
After the P70 I was planning to build some wheeled or tracked thing... and in fact... :rolling: :nerd: I gave in to the temptation of the fair amount of P.E. lurking from that box: Eduard 1:72 Spitfire Mk IX ProfiPack edition. The kit has amazing details both in plastic and in P.E. The fit is...- Andy the Sheep

Late 1940's French Street Scene 1/35. Scratch built buildings, MB figures and Tamiya car .
John, I was lagging behind with your build. It's amazing! The hints about how to glue plastic frames are very useful as I'm facing a similar problem trying to scratch build a modern vehicle radio rack. Moreover, I had a sort of déjà-vu when I saw the priest figure: that's why: He's the French...- Andy the Sheep

Italeri 1/48 Douglas P70 by Andrea
As promised, here are the outdoor pics of the completed P70 . To tell the truth, when I put the model on the shelf I realized I forgot the aerial (the hole on the tail is clearly visible)... after some trials (CA cures rapidly only when you don't really need it and viceversa... :rolling: ) I...- Andy the Sheep

Italeri 1/48 Douglas P70 by Andrea
Almost there. The P70 needs some more touch ups but I think the next set of pics will be in the "Completed aircraft" section. Here she is after the matt coat and some dusting a detail of the front landing gear and now with all masking removed Andrea- Andy the Sheep

Italeri 1/48 Douglas P70 by Andrea
Gloss coat on, some masking off, some colour retouching and front gear added. The destructions are less than clear about the front landing gear but I hope I put it together correctly. The landing gear is not very strong: the main legs are fixed to frames instead of being directly connected to...- Andy the Sheep
